Profiles 
Part 2 of the report presents data findings through both an industry and country lens, 
with the aim of providing specific practical information to decision-makers and experts 
from academia, business, government and civil society. Complementing the cross-
industry and cross-country analysis of results in Part 1, this section provides deeper 
granularity for a given industry and country through dedicated Industry Profiles and 
Country Profiles. Profiles are intended to provide interested companies and policy-
makers with the opportunity to benchmark their organization against the range of 
expectations prevalent in their industry and/or country. This User’s Guide provides 
an overview of the information contained in the various Industry Profiles and Country 
Profiles and its appropriate interpretation.
